US government job in Kansas
A new employee starts with: 1 discretionary day of their choosing 9 holidays (sometimes 10 if Xmas is on a Tuesday or Thursday) 12 days sick leave (accrues if not used) 12 days vacation leave (there are max, so people have to use it eventually) For a total of 34 or 35 days of leave
I have been working for 15 years so I get the max of 21 days of vac, making my total leave 43 (or 44) days of leave available each year.
I tend to use vacation for two or three one week vacations and then sprinkle the rest around for other needs. The few times that I have had to work overtime I can choose the overtime at 1.5 vacation leave instead of extra pay so a couple of years I got a few extra days of vacation to make up for overtime. I will get funeral leave which is a separate thing from vacation or sick leave when my father in law passes away in the next couple of months.
While I make less as a state employee than in the private sector, I don't have obligated overtime and I have never been denied leave in the couple decades of working at the state. Plus the private sector in the state is not required to provide any paid leave at all, which is a fucking travesty.
